Khabar never thought he could be a devout believer.
His face was reflected in the floor-to-ceiling windows, and his fingertips tapped rhythmically on the glass. As a successful businessman, countless possibilities of response flashed in his mind.
It was confirmed that there really was a god in the glacier temple. He hadn't slept for two days, feeling both excited and anxious.
"Asking wishes from gods... I'm so crazy!"
"But what happens after I ask for it? What if the gods treat me like they did Ximan? How should I deal with it? Ordinary weapons cannot deal with the gods... Of course, it is best if there is no conflict."
"No... no... I'm not a pious person, but my wish can come true... how can I give up!"
Haber looked at this prosperous city, with tall buildings everywhere. Being able to establish a foothold in such a place, Frank Pharmaceuticals is naturally unique in terms of financial resources and scientific research.
In addition, the relationship with officials at all levels is naturally very deep.
Once a family stands up, the members of the family, regardless of age or sex, will have their own division of labor, whether they are involved in politics, business, media, military industry, or gangs, so that the entire Frank family can flourish.
At least that's the case in Chicago.
If dealing with a god, Habar will definitely be weak, but if there is an entire family helping in various walks of life, then the possibility increases a little.
Dongdong!
"Boss, your assistant is back."
Behind the knocking on the door was the voice of temporary secretary George, "She looks very haggard and anxious. Do you want to see her now?"
Haber was excited, but his tone remained calm.
"Let her in."
After a moment, there was a knock on the door again, and then the door was pushed open by a beautiful woman. She still had long blond hair hanging down like a waterfall on her shoulders. She wore a small suit on the upper body and a pair of trousers on the lower body. She looked casual and capable.
The woman took off her sunglasses, walked to the desk and sat down. Haber looked at her and said with a smile: "I went to Antarctica and saw incredible things. Do you feel that the world is a little different?"
The corner of Julia's mouth curled up slightly. It was indeed as her boss said. Once you see other things and witness the higher dimensions of the world, when you see the original thing again, it actually feels like looking down at your feet.
That's a different state of mind.
"Now let's talk about how you feel about that god?" Haber intertwined his fingers, with a look in his eyes that looked forward to his assistant's opinion.
"mystery……"
Julia softly uttered these two words, recalling all the mysteries she encountered in the temple, and then spoke a few more words.
"...ancient...horrors...and principles."
She originally wanted to say 'omnipotent', but she only saw the wealth promised to Ximan, sent to the ship through a fish, or sending a dragon from Chinese mythology and legend to kill people, which could not be considered omnipotent.
"Mysterious, ancient, terrifying..." Habar nodded, "An ancient temple, a god that no one knows, is indeed mysterious enough, but you say scary? Because of what? Various monsters? Or will it go forever?
Endless walls? As long as we think about these things, people can actually do them."
Haber stood up, his fat and thick body like a mountain of meat, "Frank Pharmaceuticals' laboratory uses drugs to induce a lot of monsters. The mutations caused by the experimental drugs turned people into painful monsters."
Creatures... As for the weird things you encounter, there are many in horror movies when you watch them, and what you encounter may not be real."
"Boss?" Although Julia was the other person's personal assistant and had a physical intimacy with him, she was a little surprised by comparing people to gods. This was not the boss she was familiar with.
"What does that god look like?" Haber turned around, took out a box of cigars from the drawer, and gently rubbed out the powder with a blade, "I'm very curious... how did ancient people become gods...
…”
"Asian looks are more handsome among yellow-skinned people." Julia took the cigar from the other person's hand, put it in her lips and lit it, took a sip, lit up the sparks, and returned it with lipstick marks, "
...It’s just that boss, you decided to go there in person?”
"why not?"
Haber exhaled a puff of smoke, leaned back in his chair, and laughed: "Otherwise, if someone else makes a wish in private like Ximan, what will I, the boss, do? By the way, what wish did you make?"
Haber sat upright and came back, staring straight at the woman opposite.
"Let me guess, do you want to stay young forever, or do you want to get more rights?"
"I didn't think so."
Julia has been following him for several years, and she is very clear about the emotions revealed in the other person's eyes. "The situation was dangerous at that time. I just wanted to leave the temple and bring the news and the mercenaries back safely, but Ximan
But he asked for the wealth. I had an argument with him, and the gun went off and hit the statue..."
She told everything that happened in the temple exactly as it was, and she had some guesses as to why the god wanted to hunt down Ximan on the way back.
"Maybe it was that shot that angered the other party, but he just didn't want to dirty his temple... There is another way, which is a sacrifice. He killed the black leader of the scientific research station, cut off his head and placed it in front of the statue.
...I think that god is not an evil god. I am afraid that he will be angry in his heart for such a sacrifice."
Haber was very satisfied with her frankness and told her a lot of information that he had not heard in the communication.
"You have given me a better understanding, Miss Julia." He folded his hands and placed them on his bulging belly, "Go back and rest. Maybe in a few days, you will be a guide and take me with you.
Go over there. By the way, where are those three people? Hubble, Lucy and a Bay Island woman named Xu Meiting."
"I put them up in a hotel, right on Frank Street."
"Well, we don't need to take them with us this time. Everything that should be clear has already been clear. Kill all three of them. Only the two of us know the secret." Haber looked at her with a smile.
"yes."
Julia stood up and nodded, left the chair and walked a few steps. She turned back and said, "Boss, you are suddenly so interested in gods. Can I ask, what is your wish?"
"Ha...why are you asking me this suddenly?" Haber laughed.
"Because you have everything. As long as money can buy it in this world, if you want it, it's probably not difficult to get it..."
Haber's smile grew wider, but he did not answer the assistant's curiosity. He just waved his hand and asked her to leave and finish what he had just ordered.
When the door to the room was knocked softly, the smile on the fat face gradually faded, and he leaned back on the chair with an expressionless expression, looking up at the ceiling.
"...There is something in this world that money can never buy."
The drawer was half-opened, revealing a photo frame. On the photo in the frame, a fat, yellow-haired doll was nestled in the arms of a beautiful middle-aged woman, with a paper crown on her head and a bright smile.
